Three Beautiful Things This Week was inspired by a wonderful blog that Clare writes called Three Beautiful Things. Everyday, Clare writes about 3 Beautiful Things that happen each day in her life. It's a wonderful blog! I can only hope to imitate her in a very small way.

1) After a week of tests and meetings with the transplant doctor, we found out that Jenny is in great health. Her bones are strong. If it weren't for the cancer, her health would be perfect! The transplant is a go. The doctor felt that this is the best time for it because of her excellent health.

2) Pixie was happy to come home. AS soon as she walked in the door, she raced to her love seat and went to sleep. Kitties boss her around so much, she's happy to have a little break.

3) Today, I painted the base of the mailbox. It was rusting, and now, the white paint makes it look great!

1) We are finally coming to a point where Jenny's stem cell process is underway. The people whom we have met so far, have been very kind and supportive. It will be a challenging road to travel, but with the support of these trained professionals and our friends, we will reach the end of the journey with a great deal of success for Jenny. I am always amazed by the kindnesses of the people who are sent on our path. I often wonder how many of these kind strangers were really angels in disguise.

2) Nick has called everyday to see how everything is going. One of the practitioners commented that Jenny was so lucky to have a brother who really wanted to be a part of this transplant process and cared enough to call. She said that doesn't always happen.

3) Pixie is adjusting better to life in St. Paul with the kitties. Truly, the kitties rule here. When Pixie and I are together, she is my Velcro dog. She has also claimed the love seat as hers. The kitties have not challenged her on that issue, yet.

1) Things are finally starting to blossom! The crab apple tree and the plum tree are developing their most beautiful garments of the year. I feel like I am at the royal wedding when I see these beautiful buds and blossoms!

2) Friends never seem to amaze me with the love and support they show for me and my family with help that is asked and with help that is given so freely without counting the cost! We love you all, and you know who you are! Thank you!

3) We had some 90 degree weather this week, and as hot and humid as that was, it was beautiful!
